Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the portal bridge transmission assembly 100 according to one embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the gantry bridge drive assembly 100 in its disassembled state; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the differential 20; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the second drive shaft 21 of the differential 20 and the output reducer 10; Figure 5 yes Figure 4A cross-sectional view of the second drive shaft 21 and the output reducer 10 is provided in this embodiment of the invention. The gantry transmission assembly 100 includes an output accelerator, a differential 20, a transition structure 30, and a metal wire 40. The output reducer 10 includes a first drive shaft 11, which has a communicating mounting cavity 111 and a first shaft hole 112. The differential 20 includes a second drive shaft 21, which has a universal joint 211 housed in the mounting cavity 111. The transition structure 30 is connected to the universal joint 211 and rotatably fitted into the first shaft hole 112. The metal wire 40 is wound around the outer periphery of the first drive shaft 11 and is opposite to or abuts against the transition structure 30 to prevent the transition structure 30 from disengaging from the first shaft hole 112.
[0035] Specifically, there are two output reducers 10, which are located on opposite sides of the differential 20. The differential 20 also has two first drive shafts 11, each connected to a corresponding output reducer via a universal joint 211. The differential 20 further includes a shift block 22 and an input shaft 23. The input shaft 23 engages with one of the first drive shafts 11 and is used to connect to the drive unit, allowing the drive unit to transmit power to the first drive shaft 11. The shift block 22 allows the user to switch between differential and synchronous modes. Specifically, by shifting the shift block 22, the user can separate the two first drive shafts 11, allowing them to rotate at different speeds; alternatively, the user can shift the shift block 22 to circumferentially connect the two first drive shafts 11, allowing them to rotate at the same speed. The portal axle drive assembly 100 also includes a steering drive 50, which is mounted on the differential 20 and connected to two output reducers 10. The steering drive 50 can drive the two output reducers 10 to rotate relative to the differential 20 to achieve the steering function.
[0036] Specifically, the metal wire 40 is wound multiple times around the outer circumference of the first drive shaft 11 to improve its reliability in limiting the transition structure 30.
[0037] By setting a metal wire 40, which is wound around the outer periphery of the first drive shaft 11 and is opposite to or abuts against the adapter structure 30, the adapter structure 30 is restricted from detaching from the first shaft hole 112. Compared with bearings for limiting, the method of using metal wire 40 for limiting is simpler. It is only necessary to wind the metal wire 40 around the first drive shaft 11 at the corresponding position of the adapter structure 30 to reliably restrict the adapter structure 30 from detaching from the first drive shaft 11, thus reducing the installation difficulty of the vehicle model.
[0038] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The diagram shows the second drive shaft 21 and part of the output accelerator in their disassembled state. An annular groove 113 is formed on the outer periphery of the first drive shaft 11, and a first shaft hole 112 is formed in the bottom wall of the annular groove 113. A metal wire 40 is wound around the annular groove 113. This arrangement allows the annular groove 113 to axially limit the metal wire 40, reducing the risk of the metal wire 40 detaching from the first drive shaft 11.
[0039] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adapter structure 30 includes a first rotating shaft 31 and a second rotating shaft 32. The first rotating shaft 31 passes through the second rotating shaft 32 and is rotatably engaged with the first shaft hole 112. The second rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the universal ball joint 211. This configuration allows for the rotation of both the output reducer 10 and the differential 20, improving the user experience.
[0040] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The universal ball joint 211 has a second shaft hole 2111, and the second rotating shaft 32 is rotatably engaged with the second shaft hole 2111. The axis of the first shaft hole 112 is perpendicular to the axis of the second shaft hole 2111. This arrangement allows for relative rotation between the second rotating shaft 32 and the universal ball joint 211, and the structure is relatively simple. Furthermore, the perpendicularity of the axes around which the two rotational degrees of freedom are located makes it applicable to various scenarios and helps to further improve the user experience.
[0041] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The universal ball joint 211 has a movable groove 2112, which communicates with the second shaft hole 2111. The first rotating shaft 31 passes through the movable groove 2112. When the universal ball joint 211 rotates relative to the second rotating shaft 32, the first rotating shaft 31 can move along the movable groove 2112. Specifically, the movable groove 2112 is strip-shaped, so that the first rotating shaft 31 can rotate relative to the universal ball joint 2111 along the movable groove 2112 under the drive of the second rotating shaft 32. With this configuration, the movable groove 2112 can avoid the first rotating shaft 31 when the universal ball joint 211 and the second rotating shaft 32 rotate relative to each other. At the same time, the movable groove 2112 can limit the angle of relative rotation between the universal ball joint 211 and the second rotating shaft 32.
[0042] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The second rotating shaft 32 has a third shaft hole 321, through which the first rotating shaft 31 passes, and both ends are rotatably engaged with the two first shaft holes 112 respectively. With this arrangement, the first rotating shaft 31 and the first transmission shaft 11 have good connection strength and can support stable relative rotation of the two.
[0043] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 31 is rotatably engaged with the third shaft hole 321 to facilitate stable steering.
[0044] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The output reducer 10 includes an output shaft 12, a first transmission shaft 11 with a first gear 114, and an output shaft 12 with a second gear 121 meshing with the first gear 114. The number of teeth on the second gear 121 is greater than the number of teeth on the first gear 114. The output shaft 12 is used to connect to a wheel. This configuration enables speed reduction transmission, allowing a larger torque to be transmitted to the wheel.
[0045] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The output reducer 10 includes a mounting housing 13 and a bearing component 14. The first drive shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting housing 13 via the bearing component 14 and is located between the metal wire 40 and the first gear 114. This arrangement places the bearing component 14 on the relatively inner side of the mounting housing 13, facilitating the simple assembly process of inserting the second drive shaft 21 into the mounting housing 13 and rotatably connecting it to the mounting housing 13 via the bearing component 14 after the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 21 have been assembled.
[0046] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 4 The mounting cavity 111 is constructed as a spherical cavity that matches the universal ball joint 211. This design provides better support for the universal ball joint 211.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a vehicle model, which includes wheels (not shown) and a portal axle transmission assembly 100. The output end of the output reducer 10 of the portal axle transmission assembly 100 is connected to the wheels. Specifically, the vehicle model can be a car model, a bus model, or other automobile model. There are two wheels, each connected to the output end of its corresponding output reducer 10. By incorporating the portal axle transmission assembly 100 of this utility model into the vehicle model, the assembly difficulty can be reduced and the assembly efficiency improved.
[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
